9mm Major is a wildcat cartridge of the 9mm Luger specifically for competition pistols designed to handle very high pressure. It is used in practical shooting competitions like International Practical Shooting Confederation (IPSC) and United States Practical Shooting Association (USPSA) to achieve a "Major" power factor, which earns more points for hits in specific zones on paper targets ...
124 grain 9mm Luger Full Metal Jacketed Round Nose (FMJ RN) at a velocity of 1305 ft/s (398 m/s) 158 grain .357 Magnum Jacketed Soft Point (JSP) at a velocity of 1430 ft/s (436 m/s). This is roughly equivalent to the obsolete NIJ Level II ballistic protection level. [10] NIJ HG2 9mm Luger.44 Magnum: This armor would protect against:
What put an end to the 9×25mm Dillon in competition was lowering of the USPSA major power factor from 175 to 165 (160 for IPSC competition) which improved the safety and effectiveness of .38 Super (and later 9x19 "Major") loads to a point that the extra rounds that would fit maximum-allowed length magazines outweighed any muzzle flip advantage ...
Specifically, I commonly shoot both guns, 357 mag and 10 mm, with light 38 special or light 40 S&W equivalent loads up to full power 357 magnum or full power 10 mm loads in a wide range of bullet weights. If anyone believes this to be non-neutral, please explain the concept to me. Gflory 14:17, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
Conversion from kilo grain feet per second to newton-seconds is trivial, since both the grain and foot is based on SI units. One troy grain is defined as 0.064 798 91 grams exactly [ 1 ] and one international foot is defined as 0.3048 meters , giving the exact conversion factor of 0.019 750 707 768 .
In the case of target loads, a 148 gr (9.6 g) bullet is propelled to only 690 ft/s (210 m/s). [25] The closest comparisons are the 380 ACP , which fires much lighter bullets slightly faster than most .38 Special loads; the 9×19mm Parabellum , which fires a somewhat lighter bullet significantly faster; and the .38 Super , which fires a ...
Between 1000 and 2000 yards, the normal operating envelope for extreme long range shooting, the .338 Xtreme demonstrates 50% higher velocity, is 50% flatter shooting, and maintains more than double the energy of C.I.P. conform with .338 Lapua Magnum loads with conventional 250-grain very-low-drag bullets.
Handloaders have worked up safe loads using 180 gr (12 g) bullets at 1,250 ft/s (380 m/s) making it an adequate round for hunting some medium game at close distances. [ 13 ] For practical shooting competitors, the .400 Corbon makes IPSC Major Power Factor of 175 and surpasses the IDPA Enhanced Service Pistol's Power Floor of 125,000 in most ...
